The wars are the single biggest reason our economy is in the shambles it is in today. The problem is the wars have sucked more money out of our economy than anything else; like taking air out of a balloon.

Sure. But I want the best ship possible. We need to upgrade our communications, transportation network, education system, we need to invest in research to stay the place everyone wants to go. We've been using what our father's built and it's time for us to modernize it.

This is an entirely new approach, one that has little concern for whatever reason. They are obviously all privy to information concerning government finance that the rest of us are not; there is no way to explain Congressional spending on the backs of the people even in light of extremely low interest rates.

Where is the rationale here, that's what I'm asking; if it exists, I want to hear it. The problem is that it does not exist; these are self serving, corrupt politicians.

He doesn't deserve to be re-elected for sure, I just don't have much faith that Romney will do much better. The two parties know you have to chose one of them I wish there wee more options so the two main parties would actually have to server.

Your wealth is not the issue, when they run out of the riches money and still need more where do you think it will come from? For you to think that it is ok for gov to take 90% of what a person earns so a level of bitterness and anger that borders on criminal. You think it's fair, well I thinks it's faire gov take 90% of what you make. Betrayal of my class? Lol I'm not a thief so I will never be on your class; you seem to think everyone who is rich stole it. That is a very uneducated thing to assume and just because you failed at life doesn't mean you can drag everyone else down with you.

I just recognize the the 99% have been victimized by the 1% plutocrats who have bought our govt, rigged the system against us, crashed the world economy, took trillions in bailouts, held down our wages, raised our health premiums, moved our jobs over seas, busted our unions, destroyed our pensions, and gave themselves underserved, obscenely, high salary/bonuses.

They have not contributed in the recovery. It is unfair and unpatriotic. Why should the 99% conribute but not the 1%?

Why would you protect them while they continue to prey on your family?

So you admit not all rich stole the money but you still want to take 90% you should love in the old Soviet Union (before it collapsed). Why do you get to decided what's fair for everyone? It's beyond arrogant for you to pretend you know what anyone has contributed. The only one I protect is me, this may supprise you but i refuse to play the role of victim. I'm doing very well inspire of te gov not because of the gov. It sounds like you have never really known freedom, and I feel sorry for you.

I'm pointing out how your personal life has contributed to your misguided anger, I have not asked you for any personal info nor do i want it. It does however backup my assertions to your irrational behavior. The only role you seem comfortable with is being the victim, poor little VQ's always the victim not everyone thinks that way.

Not everyone thinks they are a victim but you try to put them there. You don't stand with hard working families you want it keep them right where they are with no chance of bettering their life. Progressives want two classes working class and the elite, the elite will always make sure they have plenty and that the working class stay right where they are. I stand for/with myself I am confident in my ability to provide for myself , you are not capable of taking care of yourself. The big problem with your way is it drags me down with you and that's not going to happen.

I'm not in your personal bus. Anymore than you are in mine so stop being a hypocrite. Look you are simple enough to think someone else will take care of you fine you will get exactly what you deserve but you are not dragging me down with you. Progressives love to say how they will take care of everyone and supporters are shocked when they realize that in a time of crisis they are sold down the river. I will never allow my wants/needs to allocated out to me by gov. You advocate slavery disguised as compassion. I believe in a hand-up not hand-outs your hand-outs make people slaves, that beg for scraps from their masters table.

Progressives pander for votes with table scraps and to keep those enslaved they make it impossible to improve thier situation. Progressives don't want people who take responsibility for their own lives they need victims. You lie all the time and why is that ok? For your system to work there has to be a constant victim class. Which is why progressives keep people down.
